Summary: Enables DNA binding activity; nuclear receptor activity; and retinoid X receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; positive regulation of transport; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within cellular lipid metabolic process and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human NR1H2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
